    (2014-01) Kodnani, Ashka; Joshi, D S; Shah, Alpa; Shah, J M; Shah, N R
    Objectives: To study and establish clinical and haematological correlation in cases of dengue viral infection. Methodology: A total 169 serum samples were received from L.G. Hospital for the detection of Dengue IgM during the period of October 2013 to January 2014. They were tested for the same with ELISA method. The clinical -haematological case study was done and the data was analyzed retrospectively. Results: Total 169 serum samples were tested, out of which 44(26.03%) were positive for Dengue IgM antibodies. Out of the total serum samples, Male: Female ratio and Urban: Rural ratio was 1.6:1 and 2.8:1 respectively. Peak incidence of the disease is seen in October. Clinically fever was the commonest presentation in 39(88.6%) patients followed by headache and muscle pain i.e., 33(75%) and 16(36.3%) respectively; the least common was epistaxis in 4 (9.04%) patients. Retrobulbar pain was in 3(6.8%) rash was in 6 (13.6%) and hemorrhagic manifestations in 12 (27.2%) patients. Amongst total WBC count, the proportion of Lymphocyte was above 70% in 3(6.8%) cases, between 50-70% in 17(38.6%) cases, and between 35-49% in 16(36.3%) cases and below 35% was in 8(18.18%) cases. The platelet count less than 50,000 was observed in16(36.3%) cases, 50,000 to 1, 00000 in 15(34.09%) cases and greater than 1,00,000 was in 13(29.5%) cases.19(43.1%) patients had erythrocyte sedimentation rate less than 7mm/hr, While 15(34.09%) patients had8- 20mm/hrand 10(22.7%) had more than 20 mm/hr.

    Hyperhomocysteinemia masquerading as pulmonary embolism.
    (2003-09-09) Dani, S I; Thanvi, S; Shah, J M; Prajapti, J; Jain, S; Joshi, H
    We describe a 30-year-old male who presented with acute onset of breathlessness, tachycardia, and palpitations associated with distension of jugular vein and clear lungs on physical examination. The chest X-ray was normal and ECG was showing S1Q3T3 and right ventricular strain pattern. His 2-D echocardiography was showing dilated right atrium, right ventricular dilatation and moderate pulmonary arterial hypertension. He was found to have thrombosis involving left side of deep venous system with normal superficial venous system (Doppler proved). All routine blood investigations for etiology of recurrent DVT were normal except serum homocyteine level, which was significantly raised. Megaloblastic anemia on peripheral smear and hyperhomocysteinemia prompted us to search for its cause, which was subsequently found to be vitamin B12 deficiency. Such an association of megaloblastic anemia due to vitamin B12 deficiency leading to hyperhomocysteinemia and subsequent thrombosis in left venous system presenting as acute pulmonary embolism has not been described earlier in the medical literature.
